Evan's day! I was thinking about this picture today. Evan was born 3 weeks early and his birth mother smoked. The combination produced a small baby. He was right at 5 1/2 pounds. His legs were so small. I thought he would break! It didn't take long for him to grown - by leaps and bounds. My friend, Anita Dye, offered to make his baptismal outfit. He was baptized at 4 months old. She had to add a piece to the outfit so it would fit!

After Day 1, Audrey and Evan both said 'Are you going to take our picture EVERY day?' So today, I got one shot and one shot only. Audrey is 14 and a freshman at Spring Valley High School. Evan is a 6th grader at Summit Middle School.

I joined this photography log to get back into using manual settings on my camera. So you will see some good pictures, not so good pictures, etc. Day 1 is 'What They Do'. I took pictures of my daughter, Audrey, doing homework. I think my favorite picture is of her hands.

About Me

My husband, Bob, and I have two beautiful adopted children (Audrey and Evan). They keep our lives busy with sports. I try to make time for myself and friends. Between stamping and scrapbooking with friends, I also direct the Handbell Choir and attend college, part-time. I'm majoring in Elementary Education and plan on leaving my life of 20-odd years of accounting one day.
Stamping and sewing/embroidery are two of my favorite hobbies. I started stamping over 10 years ago. I love comments on the cards I make.
I've been sewing since I was 11 years old. Unfortunately, that's 40 years of sewing. Man, I'm getting old! I started in 4-H, have sewn for myself and used to sew for a dance company. That was a huge challenge!
My mantra is "It's 5 o'clock somewhere!"
